 YALL i got MARRIED to Patrick EHEHEH We got married on March 21,2005. 
 Now the fun part. GRRR
   We are getting things together for the Visa. I am in LA.
I already filled out the fast track so i am waiting to make a lil more money and for his stuff to come through the mail.
 We have gotten the marriage certificate and i went to change my last name to MULCRONE last week. YAY!

 i have TONS of photos to show at the counsolate ( i am just bringing my box o goodies as well as adding a few photos  they can have.

 I need to knwo if i need to get a new passport since my name is changed? Man thas just more money i dont wanna spend. I JuST GOT the thing 2 years ago.

  I heard i can get an ammendment added to my name. what is that exacly? i want to just have his last name NOT mine its tacky ( sorry if u did that lol)
 for me its just not right my name is long enough.

Shala M. Mulcrone

legally i have taken his name but my passport still has my maiden name on it.  i applied for my visa in my maiden name (with his name on there as it says: Spouse of....)

I book all tickets in my maiden name still, at the moment.  I will send my passport to the consulate after our july trip for the ammendment.  i think it's just a stamp in your passport and it is processed quickly.

   i applied with My name  as his last name. Is this bad?

You'll be alright -- your marriage certificate will show your maiden name if they need proof.  You can change your name in your passport once you get over here, if you want to wait.  It used to cost £26, but now it's free!   

Congrats on getting married!   

Congrats Shala!

you guys ROCK. and i am all about free! yeah i think i will do it from there. I am only worried because of traveling. You know they act a fool and make u jump through hoops and perform miracales at the airport . I dont want them to get crazy if i have a passport with a diffrent name on it.
 
do i just show my marriage cert. at the desk when i check in? and to the I. O?

Have you bought a plane ticket yet? It's probably easiest to just buy the ticket in your maiden name, so the ticket and passport match.

oh okay PHEW thanks.

I can do that I wont change my bank card over then. that way no fussies.

Shala, if you already have a US bank account in your maiden name, they may not let you change that to your married name, until you change it with the SS office At least, that's what I discovered last year,,lol.

Congrats! ,, you waited a long time for this marriage thing Hope you guys will be very happy

Tebs,
I do have a US bank account ( in fact i am with US BANK dont bank there they are CRAZY!!!) anyway the lady said i just have to bring in my marriage cert. if i want to cahange my name. I just have it changed with the SS office as of right now. i have not changed it  on any legal docs yet. I may wait until after i move
  U GUYS ARE THE BEST. I will just get my plane ticekt on my  current bank card and just fly into the UK that way without hassle. LORD KNOWS I dont need ANY MORE Airport hassles.

  shala

Sounds like you have done your homework   You are now an expert   Well done

REALLY! thanks i just figured i should do SOMETHING..
  after all, getting in trouble at the airport at Heathrow was enough to make me research anything
